Artist: KYN KRUNK

Awesome beats, surprising melodies and a sound that feels like you’re listening to an old record you just discovered in an underground shop are the feelings I get when listening to Kyn Krunk. Kyn certainly lives up to the Krunk! Each of Kyn’s tracks are unique in that they provide the listener with such rich sonic textures that you can almost piece together your own cinematic story. I found myself saying, “Yes!” a lot while listening to these beats. Check em out here and visit his facebook for more info! https://www.facebook.com/KYNKRUNK

Artist: ✞ЯфPKiLLΔℤ

I’m feeling this track very much! I like it so much I decided to stop mixing and producing to take some time out to tell you guys about it! I hope you rock out! The music itself tells the story. All you have to do is listen. It is also FREE to own! How cool is that? Your ears will go, “WOAH” and when that happens you know it is real.

Artist: SevnthWonder

Oh yeah, I’m feelin this one! Great atmosphere and an R&B and classic Hip-Hop vibe fill the track with a good feeling. It’s a free download, so be sure to claim your copy and support this great new music artist out of Boston! Awesome track! Sevnth Wonder is a cool artist for sure, so I can’t wait to hear more of his future sounds! Check it out! Your ears will go, “ahhhh” and that’s always a good thing! Take a listen.

Artist: Sascha Braemer

I happen to like this mix very much. It’s two hours of epic sounds, so be prepared to party! As the title says, the tape will ready you and your friends for a night of dancing! Think of it as the party to the party, so play this and don’t get worn out on your way to the party! This is also a FREE TAPE! Jump on it and use your cash to get a water bottle. You’ll need the hydration while listening to this hot sound!

JackEL

My Favorite track so far has been “Bird Machine”, keep reading and everything changes. At first I was like ok, now I’m like this is cool! I’ll be looking forward to future developments in JackEL’s music. I feel like everyday day is Christmas when I hear “Bird Machine”.

Bird machine is clever, very clever. If it wasn’t for that song I don’t know how I’d get up to finish my posting duties but then came…

I’m Blue (JackEL Remix) – Eiffel65

This is a good remix to a familiar friend I’ve known for years, Eiffel 65’s classic song, “I’m Blue.” The remix is cool, so much so that I reposted it on soundcloud and played it again and again! Now this track is my favorite. It’s great and as for JackEL’s other works, you simply have to check em out. You must do yourself a favor and hit play.

Then discover “Fire Storm”! I’m telling you, discover “Fire Storm”. “Bird Machine” was woah, “I’m Blue Remix” was wow and “Fire Storm” was woooooah with some great samples there, but I just wish it was a longer song. Too Short!

Why are all these hot songs I like short? That’s when I hear this….https://soundcloud.com/officialjackel/lrad-vs-animals-jackel-mashup . The problem is solved because this mashup that follows “Fire Storm” is CRAZY. ENJOY!! Oh and then there’s the song, “Like A Pyramid Scheme”….see what happens when you listen? You can’t stop and just want to keep listening. That’s the mark of good music wouldn’t you say??? Just HIT PLAY!

Don’t forget to tune in next week for post 6 and more fresh free tunes and news! Till next time music lovers!!!
